In this episode of the MasonWorld Late Night Internet Marketing Podcast, we continue with our series introducing the different ways that you can make money online. Specifically, we take a look at how you can make money on eBay.
We have a special interview with Internet Marketing Guru Andrew Hansen and he reveals what he considers the three most important things that a new Internet Marketer needs to know. Well, actually he reveals four because he did not want to stop at 3 things.
eBay has made millionaires out of a lot of people. I am not an eBay guru myself, but in this episode I summarize what the other guru's out there have to say about eBay, and I share my thoughts about how someone might build an eBay business.
Key points about eBay:
- Great source of traffic
- eBay is not just an on-line garage sale
- Consider the use of “loss leaders”
- Spend time on your eBay copy

Episode 004 Transcript
This is the Mason World Late Night Internet Marketing Podcast, Episode 4.
You want to build a business that you can call your own, but you can’t imagine abandoning the security of your day job. You are confident that you can find a few hours a week to pursue your dreams of creating a business on the internet, but you don’t know where to start. You’re looking for a plan.
Congratulations! You just found one. You are listening to the Mason World Late Night Internet Marketing Podcast, with your host Mark Mason, building internet businesses one night at a time.
Hello, everyone. Welcome to episode 4 of the Mason World Late Night Internet Marketing Podcast. Of course, I’m your host Mark Mason. It’s really great to be back on the mic. I’ve had a couple weeks of vacation with some light duty internet marketing activity, as well as some frenzied activity getting kids ready to go back to school.
It’s that time again in Texas, where we’re getting everybody ready to go back to school. That can be very exciting, because that generates a long list of things to go do. Everything from school clothes shopping to school supplies, physicals, band gear, and all of that. We’ve been pretty busy around the Mason World household the last couple of weeks.
I’ve also been busy, because I’ve been spending some time hanging out with guru affiliate marketer Lynn Terry in her private forum, she calls it the Elite forum. That’s really a fantastic investment that I’ve made. A small investment of money, and an investment of time over the last several weeks getting to know Lynn. I tell you, she is really fantastic. I had always heard great things about Lynn, and what level of integrity and customer focus she brings to her business.
Let me tell you, my time with her has exceeded all my expectations. She’s really fantastic. I encourage you to check her out over at MasonWorld.com/lynn, where I’ve a got a link over to her new Elite Membership forum over there. You can also find her on her blog at Clicknewz.com. I’ll provide both of those links in the show notes, you can check her out. She is really fantastic, and I really enjoyed spending time with her.
One of the best ways to learn about internet marketing is pick people and business models that you really believe in, follow them and watch what they do, ask them questions about what makes them successful and try to duplicate those results.
There’s absolutely no reason for you to reinvent anything in internet marketing. The best way to get started is to find somebody who you like what they’re doing, you believe in what they’re doing, and who will be honest with you and help you succeed.
Having said that, it’s time for the feature segment, where we’ll talk about our next internet monetization model. That’s making money on eBay.
Great interview Mark. Not only were Andrew’s four tips excellent, he also gave you a good description of Vegemite, I would have said “It’s just black stuff I have on my toast.” 🙂
I’ve sold quite a few household goods on ebay and your tips about using the headlines etc are spot on. I love knowing that when someone views my listings at ebay they pretty much have their credit card ready….even I “window” shop there some days!
Thanks for the interview Mark, had a lot of fun.
I’ll have to have you over for an interview at my blog soon! 🙂
Andrew
Great interview Mark – good stuff Andrew!
Here’s a free eBay tip I learned just today 😉 I enjoyed hearing a gentleman speak at lunch who’s father produced cap guns back in the ’50’s and 60’s known as Nichols Cap Guns. Here’s what they now bring on eBay –
http://shop.ebay.com/?_from=R40&_trksid=p3907.m38.l1311&_nkw=nichols+cap+gun&_sacat=See-All-Categories
Find super-hot memorabilia products – and see if you can trace back to the manufacturer and determine if they may have remaining product in bulk somewhere. Mr. Nichols actually did at one point. Yep – stuff selling on eBay for $300 could have been bought just a few years ago for just a few dollars.
Mark- You do a fantastic job in your interviews. Your production value is also very professional. Thanks for putting your stuff out there. -Don
